No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone
know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son
desires to reveal him.
011:028 "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened,
and I will give you rest.
011:029 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle
and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
011:030 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
012:001 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields.
His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain
and to eat.
012:002 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Behold,
your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."
012:003 But he said to them, "Haven't you read what David did,
when he was hungry, and those who were with him;
012:004 how he entered into the house of God, and ate the show bread,
which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who
were with him, but only for the priests?{1 Samuel 21:3-6}
012:005 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbath day,
the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless?
012:006 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
012:007 But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not
sacrifice,'{Hosea 6:6} you would not have condemned the guiltless.
012:008 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
012:009 He departed there, and went into their synagogue.
012:010 And behold there was a man with a withered hand.
They asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?"
that they might accuse him.
012:011 He said to them, "What man is there among you, who has one sheep,
and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day,
won't he grab on to it, and lift it out?
012:012 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep!
Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day."
012:013 Then he told the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out;
and it was restored whole, just like the other.
012:014 But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him,
how they might destroy him.
012:015 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes
followed him; and he healed them all,
012:016 and charged them that they should not make him known:
012:017 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah
the prophet, saying,
012:018 "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom
my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him.
He will proclaim justice to the nations.
012:019 He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear his
voice in the streets.
012:020 He won't break a bruised reed. He won't quench a smoking flax,
until he leads justice to victory.
012:021 In his name, the nations will hope."{Isaiah 42:1-4}
